There was only one part I could just not see my way past. Most of the time I could suspend my disbelief but when the time came to dispense with George Clooney's services they had to have him dangling perilously from the far end of something (At rest compared to Sandra Bullock) Only to "Fall" away on letting go. Selective gravity?

Makes me grit my teeth every time!
